[JustTheNews] ER doctor Kendall Conger objected to Duke Health "acting politically under the guise of medical science" and shared administrator's email admitting no clinical evidence backs its pledge against "racism, bias, and hate."
Two years ago this month, the University of Pennsylvania law school stopped accusing a tenured professor of making up statistics about black student performance, which she called defamatory, after ignoring requests for the supposedly correct statistics going back four years.
Dean Ted Ruger still sought "major sanctions" against Amy Wax for "intentional and incessant racist, sexist, xenophobic, and homophobic actions and statements," and disgraced ex-President Liz Magill approved a hearing board's recommended one-year suspension, slashed pay and mandatory scarlet letter in her public appearances.
As Wax awaits a decision on her final appeal of the sanctions, Duke University's health system faces similar accusations of retaliation against a doctor for calling out the admitted lack of clinical evidence behind its claim that "racism is a public health crisis" in a May 2021 pledge against "racism, bias, and hate" that was purportedly "guided by science."
Duke Health notified Raleigh emergency room physician Kendall Conger his contract was not being renewed after June 30 under "termination not for cause," because his behavior is "negatively impacting the emergency physician team, which could jeopardize the care of patients" and undermines its "respectful and collegial work environment."
Administrators commonly use perceived lack of collegiality to circumvent academic freedom promises, and at least two federal appeals courts upheld its invocation against race-related speech at public universities in the past year, although the private Duke isn't affected by them.
Asked if Duke Health's action following Conger's public speech could be investigated as a violation of its accreditation terms, its accreditor The Joint Commission told Just the News it "works with healthcare organizations to identify potential risks to patient safety and improve quality of care" but didn't say whether violation of academic freedom is grounds for a probe.
"Based on the nature of the complaint, a number of actions may result, including the potential for an immediate, for-cause survey by The Joint Commission, the state of jurisdiction, or other agencies," but it does not disclose "complainant identity and details of complaints," spokesperson Maureen Lyons said.
Conger exposed Duke Health's lack of clinical evidence for its pledge claim in an article for the North Carolina-based James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal in May 2023, posting the top of a redacted Feb. 18, 2022 email from a person Conger called a "senior administrator."
The person said "I have looked" without success for a "randomized blinded trial that proves implicit bias is the cause of worse health outcomes for African Americans," but insisted there's "ample causal inference data in the social sciences that link the two" and "undeniable trends" show that "people of color" have worse clinical outcomes in America, "even at Duke."
Conger said he responded that Duke Health is not supposed to rely on such "inherently political" data. "Duke was presuming to make a political assertion on behalf of its employees, who were in no position to push back … acting politically under the guise of medical science," he wrote.
Though Duke Health's May 12, 2021 internal announcement of the new pledge invited staff to share "any experience or perspective contrary" to the pledge's statements, Conger said it didn't respond to his first general or second more detailed query on whether it promotes "equal outcomes for groups, or the equal treatment of individuals?”
He threatened to go public two months later,, if it ignored his third query, with his concern that Duke Health will spark "a real public-health crisis … from favoring a race-based ideology over evidence-based care."
Conger shared his "farewell address" with online publication American Thinker July 2, accusing Duke Health of "leading us away from the successful melting-pot vision to the dreadfully unsuccessful socialist vision" based on the dogma that "whites are unconscious racists."
"I have social science data Duke probably doesn’t want to hear," he wrote. "Of course there was no clinical data. It’s not a scientifically provable hypothesis but a failed political ideology."

Sounds like timeliness and individualism.
I'll put this out there - using racism to get rid of competent operators will be a public health crises, as planes start colliding and the injured are taken to incompetent ER personnel, health conditions misdiagnosed, that's Prog Supremacy Culture.
[FoxNews] The White House was pressed Tuesday about whom the Pentagon would contact if a nuclear missile were fired toward the U.S. after 8 p.m., which is when President Biden has said he needs to call it a day.
Last week, Biden told Democratic governors during a private meeting at the White House that he would stop scheduling events after 8 p.m. so he can get more sleep, according to a report by The New York Times.
At a press briefing Tuesday, Fox News’ Peter Doocy pressed White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about the president’s mental health and being at his sharpest before 8 p.m.
"Well, he also says he’s sharpest before 8 p.m. So, say that the Pentagon at some point picks up an incoming nuke. It’s 11 p.m. Who do you call? The first lady?" Doocy asked.
Jean-Pierre told Doocy the president has a team to let him know of any news that is "pertinent and important" to the American people.
She also said Biden has someone he appointed to get the news from the National Security Council should that scenario ever happen.
Who that person is, Jean-Pierre did not say.
Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said when he was speaker there were many times he attended meetings in the Oval Office and the first lady was there.
We can guess the activists' activity, just like we could "guess" that the people calling to defund the police would have been the ones the cops were arresting...

That is a huge tell on exactly how delusional Jill Biden has become. "Specifically, grandiose delusions are frequently found in paranoid schizophrenia, in which a person has an extremely exaggerated sense of their significance, personality, knowledge, or authority."
From the @nytimes editorial board - making this call for a second time. “President Biden clearly understands the stakes, but he seems to have lost track of his own role in this national drama. As the situation has become more dire, he has come to regard himself as…

Joe called a lid at like 10 one day this week. He is not going to be campaigning much. Campaign events can’t be cancelled. Too much money invested in the payroll for the crowd and chance that the media will say something.

Just think of all those illegal aliens they can get to attend (and handout pre-printed ballots to) those rallies.

why stop there - banned from all elected or appointed offices of the federal government for a period no less than 10 years from departure of office.

Don't pass a budget (which is congress' core constitutional duty), they forfeit pay for that year.
Deficit more than 3% outside time of (declared) war? Next month special election for all new congress and previous members are illegible from running for their lifetimes or working for any federal government position.
[RT] US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass.... "doesn’t want to quit" and "may very well stay" in the race for the White House, Republican rival Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... has said. According to Trump, the Democratic Party will find it difficult to force Biden to quit.
In the two weeks since he debated a visibly frail and confused Biden last month, Trump has stayed out of the public eye. Meanwhile,
...back at the saw mill, Scarface Al had tied Little Nell to the log and was about to turn on the buzz saw... liberal media outlets have run articles questioning Biden’s mental health, as Democratic donors and politicians reportedly weigh their options for forcing the 81-year-old to suspend his reelection campaign.
In a phone interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Monday night, Trump predicted that Biden will withstand the pressure to step down.
"It looks to me like he may very well stay in," Trump told Hannity. "He’s got an ego and he doesn’t want to quit. This isn’t necessarily a very positive thing for our country, but I think he might very well stay in."

Based purely on capability Joe would not be hired for most positions in America today other than the Walmart stand at the door person. I’m not saying that he would not be let go, but they would probably hire him.

^ This I love, since it would solve one of my big issues with Walmart -- the pang of guilt I feel as I blow past the receipt checkers, telling 'em they're welcome to walk with me and check bags en route. Las señoras look so sad sometimes, as if I'm breaking their rice bowl.
[NEWARAB] The US president met with Liat Beinin Atzili, an Israeli American who was released by Hamas ..always the voice of sweet reason... as part of a captive exchange deal in November, at the White House on Monday.
Biden stated he promised Atzili he would continue to work to "secure the release of all remaining hostages held by Hamas," as top US and Israeli officials were reportedly due in Doha to continue mediated truce talks on Tuesday. Boy, howdy. If you can't trust Joe Biden's word, whose can you trust?
